EMBRACE THE PAST WITH MINECRAFT CLASSIC
You can run Minecraft Classic in your browser and you’ll soon see why. With just 32 blocks to build with, all the original bugs, and an (inter)face only a mother could love, Minecraft 2009 is even more glorious than we remembered!
In just ten days, our little crafting game turns ten years old! That means Minecraft still isn’t old enough to drive or run for president yet, but it is old enough for us to get all nostalgic for the good ol’ days of the game. Dangerously over-nostalgic? No, lovingly nostalgic, by releasing Minecraft Classic!
Sounds not unlike current Minecraft.
